Chapter 436 You Or Me

Su Xuyan didn't say anything for a while. Those memories hit him hard, and he believed that she knew where Bai Rong was the moment she talked about the details.

He didn't think he crossed the line before, and Bai Rong wouldn't complain about it. She'd just give him the cold shoulder and put up with all his sh*t quietly. It was like he was caught by a spell back then. The prouder and more nonchalant Bai Rong looked, the more he wanted her to suffer.

After listening to Wu Nian's description, even he thought he was a real piece of sh*t back then. No wonder Bai Rong would rather die than date me again. “I'll let her go, but you'd better hold up your end of the bargain, or I'll hunt you down too,” Su Xuyan warned her and hung up.

The sounds of gunshots stopped not long after, and silence fell upon everyone. Su Xuyan's men backed out of the house and took the corpses away.

Bai Rong looked at Zhou Hailan, “You're safe now. Since he said he'd let you live, he'll find a way to convince his boss. He's certainly capable of doing that. Xin will come back too, so don't worry about it.”

Zhou Hailan looked despondent. She mumbled, “Say, I could give my life up for him out of love, but he still wouldn't let me live. All you said was you'd tell him where Bai Rong is, and he stopped his hunt.”

Bai Rong noticed the sadness in her, and she was affected by it too. That was the tragedy of a love triangle. Someone was bound to be hurt in the end. The more they struggled, the deeper they'd sink into darkness, and in the end, they'd get depression. My mother is a perfect example.

“It'll be fine once you get over it. Su Xuyan has never loved you, but that's his business. That doesn't mean you can't love him. You're devastated because you think he should reciprocate your love, but that mindset itself is mental. Nobody's going to do anything for you just because you love them. He has the right to not do anything for you. The important thing here is to know what you're doing,” Bai Rong said calmly.

“Haven't you ever wished Gu Mingchen would love you? No, you're a lucky one. The man you love loves you, and even the man you don't love loves you too. That's just how things are.” Zhou Hailan was getting paler as she lost more blood.

The ladies handled matters very differently. Bai Rong said nothing when all Gu Mingchen cared about was Zhou Hailan. She didn't even tell him anything. Even though they dated for a short while, she was the only one putting in the emotional labor, After that, the tie was cut off when she went overseas.

Bai Rong would wish for love, but she wouldn't force someone to love her, because that was a one- way ticket to Noloveville. “Take her to the hospital, Zhang Xingyu. She has bled a lot,” Bai Rong told him. Then, Su Xuyan called her.

"Will you tell him who you really are?” Zhou Hailan asked, feeling worried.

"No."

“Don't forget what you promised me. I won't ask for his love, because he will never give me that. All I want is his baby so I can have someone around,” Zhou Hailan choked.

“What about Xin? What will you do after having Su Xuyan’s child?" Bai Rong probed.

“That's an unwanted child. They forced me into it.”

A question suddenly struck Bai Rong. “Gu Mingchen’s sperm came from the time he assaulted me. Has Su Xuyan been planning everything since the beginning?”

“I am not sure about that. He didn’t want to marry you in the first place. All he wanted was for you to suffer then. Maybe it was General Cai as he is worried that Su Xuyan might turn his back on him. After all, Su Xuyan’s mother has a good relationship with the former commander-in-chief. I think Gu Mingchen is just someone to keep Su Xuyan in check,” Zhou Hailan guessed.

An eerie chill ran down Bai Rong’s spine. She wasn't afraid of ghosts or demons, but she was terrified of humans for there were two reasons for it. One, humans could be scarier than demons; and two, she had never come across demons or ghosts.

"What about my child then? Who took it away?” Bai Rong asked.

“It's definitely not Su Xuyan because he doesn't know where your child went. Not General Cai either, since he'd want you to have your kid so Gu Mingchen and Su Xuyan would keep on fighting. And he wouldn't send the child back when Gu Mingchen is in the gutters. I think the culprit is someone from Gu Mingchen's side. They did this to avoid any unnecessary problems for Gu Mingchen.”

“So do you know I'm the one Gu Mingchen was supposed to assault?” Bai Rong stared at Zhou Hailan. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Zhou Hailan shook her head. “All they told me was to keep Gu Mingchen in check after giving birth to his child, but I didn't want to use sex for that, so I came up with another plan.”

Bai Rong’s phone rang again after a while, and she took the call.

"Alright, I did what you asked. Now tell me where Bai Rong is,” Su Xuyan cut to the chase.

“She told me she’s going to Antarctica, but I don’t know anything about the details,” Bai Rong lied. Once she got used to lying, she wouldn't feel guilty doing it again. This was because her guilty conscience had already been torn up into a bloody mess.

“You're taking me for a fool, Wu Nian!" Su Xuyan roared.

“You should know how much she wanted to travel to Antarctica if you know her enough,” Bai Rong answered calmly.

“Don't forget that I can kill you easily if I find out you're lying to me.” Su Xuyan hung up after that. Zhou Hailan left with Zhang Xingyu after she was done listening to the phone call. The moment Bai Rong came out, the mercenaries and Shadow Samurais were all waiting for her.

She told the mercenaries, “This might have been one mission, but it's a precarious one, so you'll get three million from me. Please let the child go right now and leave while Gu Mingchen is still trapped.”

She turned to the Shadow Samurais. “Somebody go with them to retrieve the child. Anyone else is free to do what they want.”

The Shadow Samurais looked at one another and saw Bai Rong off. Once Bai Rong got into the car, she took the voice recorder out and listened to the gunfight and conversations a few times, but she couldn't think straight. Her head was heavy from the lack of sleep and the cold.

She closed her eyes and leaned back, then fell asleep very soon.

A City was a city that never slept. Its residents were starting to work at six in the morning. Some were making breakfast for the family, some just got off of their shift, some were preparing to go to school, some were preparing for work, while some just came out of the internet café. When she smelled the aroma of coffee, Bai Rong opened her eyes, and she had a splitting headache. Her throat hurt from the dryness, and everything tasted bitter.

She got out of the car and shivered when the cold breeze blew past her. Bai Rong pulled her clothes tighter before going for breakfast. On the way to the café, she went past a group of police officers, then a group of armed policemen.

After ordering a bow! of mushroom soup and some garlic bread, she received a call from Gu Mingchen. Bai Rong took a deep breath before taking it.

"Where are you?” Gu Mingchen asked coldly.

Bai Rong had a bad feeling about it. “I'm having breakfast.”

"You want me to pick you up, or are you going to come back yourself?” Gu Mingchen still sounded cold.
